Here are five ways to use LiveBinders with your students;
LiveBinders can be used as online digital portfolios for students. Any Word or PDF document that a student creates can be added to a binder along with any web content they create.
A Binder can be placed on desktops so that students don’t have to type in long URLs to access a website. This is a great time saver for classroom computers.
